Is Dot-Walking Supported in g_form.setReadOnly() in OOTB Client Script?

Hello Team,

Below is an out-of-the-box (OOTB) client script. While reviewing it, I noticed a potential issue.

The client script uses dot-walking on a reference field to make it read-only. Is this the correct approach, or is this a ServiceNow bug? Based on my experience, the syntax looks incorrect to me, as we cannot use dot-walking in the g_form.setReadOnly() method.Could someone please guide me or share their inputs on this?

thank you.

 

Client Script name:LockGoal.strategyFieldAndHideOldGoal

Table:pm_project

 

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
g_form.setReadOnly('primary_goal.strategy', true);
 
if (g_scratchpad.hasAtleastOneGoalOrStrategy) {
g_form.setVisible('goals', false);
g_form.setVisible('strategic_objectives', false);
g_form.hideRelatedList('goal');
}

}

Hi @Mark Wood 

 

I tested it and g_form.setReadOnly()  makes dot walking on reference field read-only

 

Before script my incident form:
